Hovering over the equator, 600 miles from the coast of Ecuador, the Galapagos Islands is a world within itself.  All creatures that inhabit these islands are found absolutely nowhere else on earth, and have developed unique adaptations that distinguish themselves and help them survive in this unique ecosystem.  With no natural enemies present, the animals throughout the Galapagos Islands have evolved no fear of humans or other animals, making them remarkably tame, not to mention photogenic!

Trip Highlights


Spend your days visiting the most extraordinary islands in the world to photograph and learn about their remarkable biodiversity and unique adaptations.


Unpack only once as you live aboard a private yacht, cruising to the various islands as you relax or whale watch on the yacht’s sun deck.


Walk amongst animals that have no natural fear of humans, allowing for outstanding photography and wildlife viewing!


Enjoy daily snorkeling opportunities in an underwater world teeming with vibrant life.  Play with sea lions, swim side by side with sea turtles, observe diving marine iguanas, and get close up with Galapagos Penguins, all while being enveloped by brilliantly colored fish.


Travel with confidence as you are led by the most experienced naturalist guides in the Galapagos Islands and Doctoral Fellow J. Court Whelan as you explore this living laboratory of adaptation.
